Intro to Billing Codes
This article will guide you through setting up your billing codes on the Billables AI dashboard. This is crucial for accurate time tracking and assignment of time entries.
How to Import Billing Codes
Importing Through Billing Integrations (Clio, MyCase, LeanLaw, SurePoint)
Step 1: If you are a Clio, MyCase, LeanLaw or SurePoint user, you should activate the direct billing integration on the Integrations page.
Step 2: Enable the integration you want to use. Remember, you need to be a firm admin to enable these integrations.
Step 3: Once you connect your billing integration to your account, billing codes will start populating on your Billing Codes page.
Manual Entry
If your firm uses a different practice management system, there is an option to add billing codes manually.
Step 1: To add codes individually, go to your Billing Codes page and select Add Billing Codes.
Step 2: Here, you can add or create a client or matter, as well as corresponding client and matter codes. Remember, only the client name is required; all other fields are optional.
Bulk Upload
Step 1: To upload more than one code at a time, choose the Bulk upload option.
Step 2: Download our template, add your clients and matters, and upload them all at once. Ensure your billing codes are accurate by referencing our sample template.
Your uploaded clients and matters will now appear on your Billing Codes page.
Custom Automation (through email)
For some firms, we can establish a custom automation to sync billing codes through email export from your practice management system.
To set this up, reach out to support@billables.ai.
